Headline Eating Facilities at UN Headquarters

Caption Description Cooks at work in the kitchen at United Nations Headquarters. The UN cafeteria staff handles 10,000 to 12,000 transactions daily, from cups of tea to whole meals. The kitchen staff includes a chef, a “sous-chef”, a roast cook, a soup cook, some “sauciers” (gravy cooks) and “legumiers” (vegetable cooks), a butcher and a chicken butcher who is in charge of the poultry and fish. During working hours and until about 4p.m., the kitchen is very noisy; well-lighted with neon tubes, it has a shiny series of stainless steal ovens, dishwashers, drying machines, etc. The original equipment, which cost around $300,000, includes separate deep-freezers and cold storage rooms for meat, ice-cream, sea-food and fruit.
